Orange Legal Technologies(TM) Achieves Safe Harbor Framework Certification
Certification Enhances Ability to Support Multi-National Needs of International Clients SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)-- Orange Legal Technologies, a leading provider of one source litigation, audit, and investigation support services for law firms and corporations seeking insight on electronically stored information, today announced its certification under the Safe Harbor Framework between the United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission with respect to personal data transfer from Europe to the United States. The European Commission's Directive on Data Protection was issued in October of 1998, with the intent to prohibit the transfer of personal data to non-European Union nations that do not meet the European "adequacy" standard for privacy protection. Since the United States and the European Union have differing approaches to the protection of privacy for their citizens, the U.S. Department of Commerce, in conjunction with the European Commission, contracted a "Safe Harbor" framework to provide organizations with the information and means to comply with the Directive so they can effectively evaluate and join Safe Harbor. Safe Harbor certification provides assurance to EU organizations and agencies that Orange Legal Technologies not only understands the "Safe Harbor Framework," but has also taken the recommended steps required for implementing personal data privacy protections. Being certified, in most instances, permits Orange Legal Technologies to transfer data between the EU and the US without the need for prior approval as this requirement is waived or automatically granted. "Safe Harbor certification highlights the high level of security and care that Orange Legal Technologies maintains to protect sensitive and confidential data entrusted to us during the collection, analysis, processing, review and production of electronically stored information on behalf of our clients," said Bret Laughlin, Chief Executive Officer of Orange Legal Technologies. "As we continue to expand our support for our internationally-engaged clients, it is important that we are able to meet their multi-national needs. This important certification is one example of how we are expanding support to meet those needs." Orange Legal Technologies' compliance with the Safe Harbor framework is further detailed on the company Web site here.
